Stone Screenings for Patios in Bentonia, MS

Mississippi Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Bentonia, MS, to patios, drives, pads and beds. The yard stock here runs on 610 limestone, the crushed limestone base Mississippi crews specify for a compacting course.

This part of Yazoo County sits on the Loess Bluffs and Brown Loam, where silty ground digs easily and then moves once it is wet. Bedding under pavers and flatwork has to account for that.

Ground and Conditions in Bentonia

Across the Loess Bluffs and Brown Loam, the soil is wind-laid loess that weathers down to a silty brown loam. It stands in a vertical cut and then fails without warning once water gets into it.

A thin base over that ground shows the failure first. The pavers rock, joints open, and the slab edge drops where the silt has washed out underneath.

The repair is a base that carries load and a surface that sheds water. Steep, dissected slopes send rain into ravines fast, and silty loess travels with it.

Getting water off a patio or drive into a lined channel protects the base.

Gullying is the signature problem of this belt. Bare loess cuts into deep gullies in a single wet season, and slopes slump where the loess sits on clay.

Base and paver work runs nearly year round here. Wet spells in late winter and early spring are the main interruption.

Winters are mild with brief shallow freezes. Repeated wetting and drying, not frost, is what moves the ground in this part of the state.

Mississippi sets a minimum exterior footing depth of 12 inches and leaves the rest to each jurisdiction.

Materials for Bentonia Projects

Start with 610 limestone, also called 610 or crushed limestone base. Size No.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and patio sub-base.

Order 610 Limestone for the structural course on any flatwork job.

Above the base, bedding does the fine work. Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone, fill joints, and top a compacted base.

For sand bedding and paver joints, Masonry Sand is the brick and block material, sold around here as mason sand. Where you want a clean sand under slabs and pavers for levelling and fill, Washed Sand does that job.

Drainage behind and around flatwork needs clean, free-draining stone.

One size down, #67 Stone handles drainage and concrete work. #8 Crushed Stone covers fine drainage, pipe bedding, paver joints and concrete aggregate.

If the patio sits over soft, wet ground, Clay Gravel packs into a graded surface. It is pit-run gravel with enough clay and fines to bind.

For raised beds and planting areas over heavy clay, Garden Soil gives roots something that drains. Top Soil builds a workable layer for lawns and beds.
